Happy New Year to you all & what great way to bring in 2013. I played the clips mentioned above and I just continued going through all my fav Steely Dan clips. Loving Ready Freddy on bass and John Herrington's solo's are just so classy and that's from a Wayne Kratnz fan.
All the best..
I think "The Bear" is my favorite... so goddamn funky.
Happy New year Fodera friends!! Let's share Fodera gigging stories come tomorrow morning!

thanks, but wrong year (98, and i'm looking for 85-89), wrong body wood (i mean, if wood *mattered*), wrong pickup placement, wrong number of truss rods.
as todd mentioned, this has been a round for a while (in fact, i posted his cl listing up here). the guy has been trying to sell it since october, which is when i got all this information (his first listings didn't show body wood--d'oh). he started around 8k, then went down to 7.5, then shot up to 10 . . . . dunno if he's noticed that there's another fodera 6 up there for considerably less that has not budged . . .
still and all, i've been tracking it.
so thanks for thinking of me

That's a lot of wrongs. But is it enough to make a right?
btw, had to submit my final (no quotes) spec today. Ebony it is, all around.
it's only wrong for me . . . if it was über-cheap, it could be right.
congrats on the ebony. i think you'll be happy with that.
I'm just messin' with ya. It almost sucks when you look at all of the options while boutique shopping and realize you're going to have to get more than one bass.

That's why I'm getting two at the same time
Monarch Elite 5 (E-C) fretted
chambered walnut body, walnut tone block
Brazillian rosewood top (non-solid)
34" scale, 17.5mm bridge, 24 small frets
5-piece maple/bubinga neck w/ebony fingerboard
dual coil pups, Fodera/Pope 3-band preamp, D-tuner
Monarch Elite 5 (E-C) fretless
chambered walnut body, walnut tone block
flame walnut top (non-solid)
34" scale, 17.5mm bridge
3-piece ash neck w/unlined ebony fingerboard
dual coil pups, Fodera/Pope 3-band, D-tuner
The idea was to have a pair of "fraternal twins" that combine elements of my Yin Yang Deluxe 4 and MGS 5. I'll keep the YYD and likely sell the MGS when these are done. Then I should have all my basses covered (pun intended):
fretted and fretless 5s, E-C for comping/soloing
fretted 4 PJ (YYD) for most rock stuff
fretless 4 (Rob Allen) for upright vibe
fretted 4 JJ (Lull) for backup and if a bandleader insists on a "traditional" look
Everything 34" scale, the Foderas all chambered walnut body and ebony fingerboard. The only adjustment I have to make on a gig is if I'm swapping between 5 and 4 (19mm spacing vs 17.5mm spacing). I'm doing that now and it doesn't give me much of a problem.

Gonna be awesome.

My tone kinda came off more serious than I intended in my last post...
I totally hear you on that point man! Saving up now for a deposit on my second Fodera, and first true custom bass. Having more than one instrument is the only way to go, really. - Status
